Question for the outboard owners.

How many ponies do you have strapped to the back or your mate?

 

[Chris]

Well, I have a Merc 150 XR4!

 

[175checkmate]

200+, not sure what it is. It started life as a 200hp 2.4,has mod vp carbs, running 80-82 jets, dry stacked and relieved exh.
Run's real good. Sounds real good.

I've heard rumor that my 225 is actually about 240 at 6500-6700 rpms, but that still keeps me out of the top!

 

[Chris]

You're in the top tier in my books JW.

 

[Boston Predictor]

My GT300 should be over 300 hp!
But its not on my mate (yet) lol

 

[83PREDICTOR]

V4 Johnson now but that XR2 Merc in my back yard is waiting.

 

[Chris]

Wowzers, look what popped to the top.

This is an oldie but a goodie.

This thread is one from the very beginning.

 

[illMATTic]

200 big ones.

 

[175checkmate]

Glad this thread popped back up, it saves me from having to go and look at what jets I was running. Very nice.

225 last summer 260+ this summer

 

[supergenius74]

I want to re-vote, I have upgraded since my first vote, hehe. I think I have 240 hp, probelm is i have heard different things from different people and for a racing engine it seems that it can vary from situation to situation. Is there an easy way to dyno an outboard? that would be cool to have that done, it would answer a lot of my questions. -shane
